The Professional and Executive Development Programs in the College of Business are designed for individuals who want to supplement their education without committing a large block of time to the pursuit of a graduate degree. Both credit and non-credit courses are offered in a variety of different formats and can be customized for “in-house” delivery.
Non Credit Courses and Boot Camps
The non-credit classes provide entrepreneurs and managers who have five or more years of leadership experience within private, public or not-for-profit organizations an opportunity for professional development through seminars and workshops. Special “Boot Camps” are offered for small to medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs who want to get “up to speed” as quickly as possible. Short course classes are arranged into functionally oriented “suites” with certificate programs available. All classes have an option of earning Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Units (PDUs). Please click on Open Enrollment Short Courses to see a complete listing of the available classes.
Certificate Programs

This comprehensive certificate program meets once a month for eight months and features outstanding guest speakers and facilitators. Participants will be provided with cutting edge leadership tools and techniques that are supported by personal coaching between each of the eight sessions.
